Sixteen-year old Daniel Pelletier is paralyzed from the waist down and has endured twenty-five surgeries during his recovery, but he doesn't let that stop him from being an accomplished skateboarder. Pelletier hopes to get corporate sponsorship with this video. More videos at the link.

seriously? you're going to criticize this kid for "cheating"/not being paralyzed enough/ spelling errors? He's been through 25 surgeries, I'm pretty damn sure that what he's doing is AWESOME.don't be dicks.

Someone please tell the young man that the lead message should say he is paralyzed from the "waist" down, rather than from the "waste" down which makes no sense. Maybe he should concentrate on his school work as much as skateboarding.

He's not the only one doing this. Check out the videoclip featuring Bill Shannon. I'm not sure if I would call it cheating, but it's definitely very cool!(Be sure to read the info)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZmgZN1umsM
